After 0.9 comes 0.91, obviously

A project log for Microchip PIC Arduino based programmer

I love to program programmers. Yo dawg...

I decided to release version 0.91 - the previous should be 0.90, then.

No matter what, I added some more devices - 205 devices supported in total.

I also changed somehow serial port handling, resulting in higher programming speed, especially under windows. PIC16 programming algorithm got a bit more intelligence, resulting in faster programming.

Before 1.00 release I'd like to rework the MCU type selection into table driven function instead of huge if-then-else behemoth and set support for all LVP ICSP-able 8-bit PIC devices.

Everything is at github, as usual https://github.com/jaromir-sukuba/a-p-prog

I did the same thing with #NeuroBytes. Hit v0.9 (which had a lot of horrible defects) and had to move to v0.91. Hoping I don't have to do v0.991 someday.

Haha, why not just 0.10? Would you be interested in putting the files  for this and the Progmeter up on https://kitnic.it

Hello, my intention was to build in succession 0.1, then 0.2, then 0.3 etc up to 0.9 - being the last prerelease version and 1.0 being first "officia" version. However after relasing 0.9 I found out it's gonna take a bit of work, so I decided to give myself a few more versions :-)

I'll take a look at kitnic again. Heard about it a few weeks (months?) ago.

Not gonna lie, I saw this as sort of a gimmick (although a cool gimmick) when it first got posted, but you've put a ton of work into it, and it totally looks like a tool now. This will probably be my first stop next time I need to build a programmer/test jig

Thank you.
